Re: route planning

That's Loch Awe?

Stormin' mentioned doing this in a previous thread. If you've got his number or email try him for details - if not I'm sure he'll see this & reply.

Re: route planning

Hello Sam, I was thinking of crossing from Breavallich NM955 080 to
Dalavich NM971 127. As there is no ferry that I know of on Loch Awe I was thinking of taking my own boat across, or getting a lift from one of the fish farm workers that I know, any good?

Re: route planning

I looked at this possibility a few years back.

Contact the hotel.

When I asked, they had a small fleet of self-drive motor skiffs (for anglers), and if you've got somebody who will be prepared to drive it back then hiring one of them might be your solution; although in stormy weather I'm not sure I'd want to make the crossing in an open skiff with an outboard motor.

When I enquired, they DID also hae a steam launch, with a boatman, and if you paid them enough they would fire it up and drive you across to the castle. The last time I spoke, however, they were unsure whether it would have its waterworthiness certificate (or whatever) for the then coming Challenge season, so I decided against planning on making ht ecrossing.

However ... things may have developed. Have a word and see. If it is does have its passenger-carrying waterworthiness certificate, and if there are a few of you to share the cross, it might make for an interesting alternative way of getting out of Oban.
